Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Oh Plei, how frustrating! If it helps, she WILL adjust eventually. She's smart enough to know the bottle isn't mommy, but she's also smart enough to figure out that, if she wants to eat, she needs to take the bottle.
I'd try the sippy cup. I know at my daycare they often try a cup when the baby refuses the bottle. Isaac is tricky. He takes the bottle fine in the morning, but in the latter part of the afternoon he tries to hold out for the boob.
Lily, babe, you gotta eat! Poor thing!
Ellie, sweet thing...sorry you're having a rough day.
{{{Gud}}} I'm so sorry. You so deserve a break.
I was fortunate the Em never cared if it was bottle or boob, as long as it was food. But transitioning her to the sippy cup has been hard. She still takes the majority of her liquid by bottle, but we try to push the sippy cup as much as we can.
This post has no advice in it, I just wanted to share.

~ma for the mommies and the babies of same. Comfort vibes for Gud. Yay for the job-having. Wishing I had a magic wand to make everything better for everyone.
She's barely a year, isn't she? The sippy cup can take a little while to master. I bet she'll have it by 15 months. And meanwhile there's nothing wrong with bottles. Franny didn't give up bottles until she was about, um, a year and a half or so.
I feel like finding a nice hole and never coming out (expect maybe to be with the kids).Gud, I am so sorry. You deserve so much more calm and happiness than you have in your life currently.
She's barely a year, isn't she?
Yep, just a couple weeks past. I'm sure she'll get it, too. And she does do well with them, just not a lot of quantity.
Em never cared if it was bottle or boob, as long as it was food.
Aw, so much like her Daddy...
Gud, sighhhh... I wish things could just be easy.
I just got an early Christmas present from my friend in prison, and it's perfect and I'm going back and forth between this huge grin on my face because it's perfect, and sobbing because I can't see him, or even call him to tell him it was perfect. Neither reaction is really appropriate for work.
Mandatory minimums suck. Plus, I still get mad at him because he was just so damned stupid.
On the other hand, loved the math discussion. It was one of the few here that I could actually understand, and I found the chart tremendously helpful in determining actual numbers.
